2K Games and Irrational Games have announced an e-book prequel to the upcoming game, BioShock Infinite. The e-book, entitled BioShock Infinite: Mind in Revolt, will be available worldwide for Amazon Kindle beginning February 12, 2013 for just $2.99. For those who pre-order the game through Amazon, the book will be free.

Written by Irrational Games’ writer Joe Fielder with creative director Ken Levine, BioShock Infinite: Mind in Revolt will tell the story of the mysterious sky-city of Columbia prior to the events of the game. “Since we first announced BioShock Infinite, our fans have asked for more information about Columbia and the complex cast of characters that inhabit the floating city,” said Fielder. “After reading the e-book, players will have a better understanding of BioShock Infinite’s world, the struggle between its factions, and the motivations of key characters, like rebel leader Daisy Fitzroy, without spoiling the mysteries of BioShock Infinite.”
